Hey all... I got this from a friend... this is killer.
When Minister Joe Wright was asked to open the new session of the Kansas Senate, everyone was expecting the usual generalities, but this is what they heard:
"Heavenly Father,
We come before you today to ask for your forgiveness and to seek your direction and guidance.
We know Your Word says,
"Woe to those who call evil good"
But that is exactly what we have done.
We have lost our spiritual equilibrium and reversed our values.
We have exploited the poor
And called it the lottery.
We have rewarded laziness
And called it welfare.
We have killed our unborn
and called it choice.
We have shot abortionists
and called it justifiable.
We have neglected to discipline our children
And called it building self esteem.
We have abused power
And called it politics.
We have coveted our neighbor's Possessions
and called it ambition.
We have polluted the air with profanity and Pornography and called it Freedom of speech and expression.
We have ridiculed the time Honored values of our Forefathers and called it enlightenment.
Search us, Oh God,
And know our hearts today;
Cleanse us from every sin
And set us free.
Amen!"
The response was immediate. A number of legislators walked out during the prayer in protest.
In 6 short weeks, Central Christian Church, where Rev. Wright is pastor, logged more than 5,000 phone calls with only 47 of those calls responding negatively.
The church is now receiving international requests for copies of this prayer from
Commentator Paul Harvey aired this prayer on his radio Program, "The Rest of the Story," and received a larger response to this program than any other he has ever aired."
Are we truly "One Nation Under God?"
Think about this: "if you don't stand for something, you will fall for anything."
What does it profit a man, to gain the whole world, but lose his soul?
